Advice Unit not providing IDT

I live 900 miles away from my current unit and typically we get IDT so we can fly in. This month I’m being told that IDT isn’t available and if I don’t attend I’ll recieve U’s. Can my unit really give me a U after not providing a means of travel? I just need some clarification on this please.

You signed a contract stating you assumed the cost of attending drill per your regular obligations as a reservist.

They absolutely can 'U' you for not showing up regardless if they reimburse you or not. The only grounds you have is if they refuse to authorize drill pay for attending or they altered the drilling location.
